Christmas shoppers in Arun will be able to park for free on Saturdays during the festive season in several council-run car parks.

This includes Small Business Saturday on 7 December 2019, a national event aimed at supporting, inspiring and promoting small business all year round.

The car parks and dates of the free parking are as follows:

Small Business Saturday – 7 December 2019

Bognor Regis – Lyon Street and Hothamton Car Parks

Councillor Dan Purchese, Arun District Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood Services, said: “Our town centres have a great deal to offer and we’re delighted to be supporting our business community by offering free parking in Bognor Regis and Littlehampton again during this festive period.

“The run-up to Christmas is a great time to explore the town centre shops, restaurants and cafes and help to boost trade locally.”

The free parking does not include any privately-run car parks. Disabled bays will also remain strictly for the use of blue badge holders only.
